Project description:Choroidal atrophy is a common fundus pathological change closely related to the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa, and pathological myopia. Studies suggested that choroidal endothelial cells (CECs) that form the choriocapillaris vessels are the first cells lost in choroidal atrophy. Endothelial cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC-ECs) can form blood vessels in vivo and in vitro. We isolated rat choroid and co-cultured with hPSC-ECs. Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) studies showed that rat choroid ECs seemed to lose endothelial identity while hPSC-ECs upregulated angiogenesis and hypoxia genes after interacting with choroid.

Project description:Many diseases that affect the heart, brain, and even the eyes originate from vascular pathology, emphasizing the role of vascular regulation. In age-related macular degeneration (AMD), excessive growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye (choroidal neovascularization) ultimately leads to detachment of retinal pigment epithelium and decreased vision, indicating the importance of choroidal neovascularization in the treatment of age-related diseases. The circadian clock in the mammalian retina regulates various retinal functions, enabling the retina to adapt to the light dark cycle. Emerging evidence suggests a link between circadian clock and retinopathy, but the causal relationship has not yet been determined.

Project description:The purpose of the study was to investigate the roles and possible functions of the miRNAs and tsRNAs in choroidal neovascularization (CNV).The mouse model of laser-induced CNV was conducted by laser photocoagulation and the samples were collected 7 days after laser treatment. The expression profiles of miRNAs and tsRNAs were accessed by small RNA sequencing in RPE-choroid-sclera complexes of mice in CNV group and controls. Our study identified differential expressions of miRNAs and tsRNAs in CNV model, and these altered miRNAs and tsRNAs might be novel potential targets in treating CNVs in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study were to identify cell specific expression patterns of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and a variety of choroidal cell types originating from the macula and the periphery of human donor eyes, with a particular emphasis on identifying expression signatures of choroidal endothelial cells. Methods: Independent libraries were prepared for macular and peripheral samples of combined RPE/choroid from seven donors in two single cell sequencing experiments. In the first experiment, 8-mm macular and peripheral punches of RPE/choroid from Donors 1-3 were digested in papain prior to cryopreservation and subsequent GEM barcoding/library construction. Donors 1-2 had no noted ophthalmologic disease documented, while Donor 3 was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration. In the second experiment, 12-mm macular and peripheral punches of RPE/choroid from Donors 4-7 were digested in collagenase II prior to cryopreservation, CD31-magentic bead enrichment and subsequent GEM barcoding/library construction. Donors 5-7 had no noted ophthalmologic disease documented, while Donor 4 was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration. In both experiments, libraries were sequenced on a HiSeq4000. Sequenced reads were mapped to the human genome build hg19 will CellRanger(v3.0.1) and filters removed cells likely to be doublets or cells with a high proportion of mitochondrial reads. Clustering of cells with similar expression profiles was performed with Seurat (v3.0.2). Results: In the first experiment with unenriched RPE/choroid from donors 1-3, we recovered 4,355 cells post filtering with 40,177,477 corresponding reads. A total of 2,167 cells originated from the macula and 2,168 cells originated from the periphery. A total of 11 clusters were identified, and highly enriched genes in each cluster were used to classify clusters into their presumed dominant cell type. Differential expression analysis was performed between cells of macular and peripheral origin in each cluster and between donors with and without a history of age-related macular degeneration. Results: In the second experiment with CD31-enriched RPE/choroid from donors 4-7, we recovered 14,234 cells post filtering with 135,742,297 corresponding reads. A total of 7,647 cells originated from the macula and 6,587 cells originated from the periphery. A total of 8,521 of these cells were presumed endothelial cells. A total of 13 clusters were identified, and highly enriched genes in each cluster were used to classify clusters into their presumed dominant cell type(s). Differential expression analysis was performed between cells of macular and peripheral origin in each cluster and between donors with and without a history of age-related macular degeneration. Within each of the endothelial clusters (Clusters 5-8), differential expression analysis was performed between each cluster and the remaining endothelial cells. Conclusions: This study provides a large atlas of single-cell level gene expression patterns of the human retinal pigment epithelium and choroidal cell types. We identify expression patterns of most expected choroidal cell populations and describe macular versus peripheral regional differences. We additionally identify enriched transcripts in specific cell populations in age-related macular degeneration. We characterize gene expression patterns along the choroidal vascular tree, and identify populations of arterial, capillary, and venous endothelial cells. Our results show that single-cell sequencing can be performed on human RPE/choroid after cryopreservation, and that CD31 magnetic bead enrichment can be employed to enrich for endothelial cells for single-cell sequencing.

Project description:Neovascularization contributes to multiple visual disorders including age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Current therapies for treating ocular angiogenesis are centered on the inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). While clinically effective, some AMD patients are refractory or develop resistance to anti-VEGF and concerns of increased risks of developing geographic atrophy following long-term treatment have been raised. Identification of alternative pathways to inhibit pathological angiogenesis is thus important. We have identified a novel inhibitor of angiogenesis, COCO/DAND5, a member of the Cerberus-related DAN family. We demonstrate that COCO inhibits sprouting, migration and cellular proliferation of cultured endothelial cells. Intravitreal injections of COCO inhibited retinal vascularization during development and in models of retinopathy of prematurity and AMD. COCO equally abrogated angiogenesis in choroid explants and in a model of choroidal neovascularization. Mechanistically, COCO inhibited the expression of TGFβ and BMP pathwaysand altered ATP production, glucose uptake and redox balance of endothelial cells. Together, these data show that COCO is an inhibitor of retinal and choroidal angiogenesis, possibly representing a therapeutic option for the treatment of neovascular ocular diseases.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study were to identify expression patterns in human macular neovascularization with spatial transcriptomics Methods: Independent libraries were prepared two human donors: one with macular neovascularation (MNV) and one healthy control. Three tissue sections were taken from the MNV donor and two from the control donor. From the right eyes of both donors, a 4 mm diameter macular punch was collected centered on the fovea centralis, as was a 4 mm peripheral punch approximately 12 mm superotemporal from the macula. Both central and peripheral punches (spanning retina, choroid and sclera) were placed in optimal cutting temperature compound (OCT) and were rapidly snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C. Final libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq system. Sequenced reads were mapped to the human genome build hg38 with CellRanger(v7.0.0). Feature selection was performed with the variance stabilizing transformation with Seurat (v4). Results: Spots from the MNV and control donor were deconvoluted with CSIDE, which estimated the percent RNA contribution to each spot from different cell types. Differential expression was performed between the MNV and control donors. Within the area of neovascularization, endothelial cells were predicted to increase expression of genes related to Rho family GTPase signaling and integrin signaling. Likewise, VEGF and TGFB1 were identified as potential upstream regulators that could drive the observed gene expression changes produced by endothelial and retinal pigment epithelium cells in the macular neovascularization donor. Conclusions: Overall, this study spatially analyzes gene expression across the retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid in health and describes a set of candidate molecules that become dysregulated in macular neovascularization.
